Review of The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) by Tim W — 25 Nov 2015
Sinister forces are at work...
A former criminal locked up by Inspector Clouseau escapes and builds a doomsday device. He threatens to destroy the world if he is not brought Inspector Clouseau immediately. Inspector Clouseau is on the case and will stop at nothing to bring the criminal to justice.
"Which switch did you use to turn on the light?".
"The light switch.".
Blake Edwards, director of Pink Panther, The Party, Revenge of the Pink Panther, The Great Race, The Son of the Pink Panther, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and He Laughed Last, delivers Pink Panther Strikes Again. The storyline for this picture is okay with some solid comedic content sprinkled in throughout. The script is clever and the cast delivers solid performances and includes Peter Seller, Herbert Lom, Lesley-Ann Down, and Burt Kwouk.
"A few whiffs of this and you won't feel a thing.".
I came across these not too long ago and DVR'd all of them. The storyline for these pictures are very "Austin Powers" like with less raunchy sex jokes. The comedic content is inconsistent and just okay. The overall film is above average and only worth watching if you are a diehard classic picture fan.
"I am always on my game.".
Grade: C+.
